CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 176: QIU THE SPENDTHRIFT

But what does this have to do with Qiao Chu and Chang Mei?

"This phenomenon was even more serious in the past, when interactions between males and females were even more restricted than now. Almost all female students had more or less tendencies towards lesbianism. Before the reforms and opening-up, Kelly Women’s College was almost shut down by the government because of this," Qiu Zhi continued to recount more incidents.

"Back then, there was also a sticky nickname, calling the lesbians from Kelly Women’s College ’Rose Honey Friends,’" these scandal-like news, of course, could not be spread on the internet, but they were widely circulated among boys’ dormitories. ’Rose’ referred to Kelly Women’s College, and ’Honey Friends’ referred to friends with emotions beyond ordinary people.

"Don’t blame me for this," Su Ziceng felt he had some clues, just grasped it, but slipped away again.

"Blame you for what, doesn’t your family also have someone from Kelly? But I am curious, how did someone as uptight as Secretary Chang survive in a Kelly Women’s College like that in the past," Qiu Zhi knew Su Ziceng didn’t have a good opinion of Chang Mei, so he started mocking without any reservation.

The uptight Chang Mei. Indeed, Chang Mei easily gave people that impression, her dress has never been too fancy, even somewhat in grey tones. But Chang Mei has good relations with many rich ladies in the city.

"Your mother would be heartbroken if she heard this, in this world, no one else truly wishes for the Su Family’s well-being like her, the Su Family carries all her dreams," the drunk’s words, were they merely said for the angry Chang Chi, or rather, he wanted to tell some truth to Su Ziceng.

When Yan Wuxu married into the Su family, Chang Mei did not react much, she might have obstructed it, but not sincerely. Her relationship with Su Qingzhang, rather than lovers, they resembled comrades struggling together. Her staying in the Su family, if it wasn’t to defend her love, then what was it for?

"Goodness," Su Ziceng dropped the cold hamburger in his hands, "Fatty, what have you told me, I’m all confused."

Chang Mei was defending her love, yet her love, had already withered over twenty years ago.

When Su Ziceng returned home, Chang Mei was still sitting on the terrace, her gaze seemed somewhat vacant, under the terrace, those beautiful rose flowers had been completely leveled, leaving only some stone ones, which could emit a cold light in the night, thoroughly dead sculptures.

The place Chang Mei hated Yan Wuxu the most was even risking sending a drunk to harm them for the real reason, because Yan Wuxu went too far. She changed too much of the Su family, including those clusters of roses carefully maintained by Qiao Chu when she was alive.

"Have you heard of ’Rose Honey Friends’?" Su Ziceng silently walked in, looking at Chang Chi bathed in the sunset. She was in plain grey, at some point, ordinary lines had formed on Chang Mei’s face. Perhaps she no longer considered herself a woman, or perhaps both in body and mind, she had already transformed into a man.

"So what if I have heard?" The passage of time switched their tones with each other, in the past, only Su Ziceng would answer Chang Mei with such a defiant tone.

"Then tell me, are you one of them, and then if my mother is also one of them," the framework that Su Ziceng had built for many years started to crumble at this moment.

The love lies of Su Qingzhang did not surprise her, in her mind, Su Qingzhang was never a sincere man. But Qiao Chu, the Qiao Chu with a gentle voice, was her love also fake?

In Su Ziceng’s heart, the framework formed was that, at Kelly Women’s College, Qiao Chu first formed some kind of intimate relationship with Chang Mei, but after meeting Ye Tina, that fragile relationship broke down. Immediately following Ye Tina’s departure, Qiao Chu then shifted her love to Su Qingzhang, the complex emotional changes of the older generation made her feel unbearable. Behind these distorted relationships, what position were she, Chang Chi, and Pello placed in?

"I am, but your mother is not, although I have always hoped to change her mind, even eventually causing irreparable consequences," Chang Mei felt heartfelt fatigue, facing the face that looked so much like Qiao Chu, revealing the truth of the matter was far more difficult than she had imagined.
